May 24 – Seeing Signs

For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. (Luke 11:30 ESV)

Seeing is believing right? For most of us it is simply easier to accept what we can see. But it is also important to ask yourself, what exactly do I see? What is the sign before my eyes?

Jesus declared that he himself would be a sign to his generation. The nation was in turmoil. They were occupied by a conquering force. They were crushed by a cruel puppet king. They were spiritually starving under the leadership of a corrupt religious aristocracy. Jesus was the sign that all of that would change, and it did.

What kind of sign is before your eyes? Do you see Jesus? Do you see him for who he is?

Jesus does change everything. His death was the catalyst for our new life and restored relationship with God. Look to him. Find answers. Find assurance. Find provision and find peace.
